Orlando Magic DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (illness) will be out of the lineup on Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies. After his 11-minute appearance in Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks, Isaac was added to the injury report late on Friday due to an illness. With Isaac missing, Tristan da Silva may see an increase in minutes, while Jett Howard could rejoin the rotation. However, it is unlikely that either player will have an impact in fantasy basketball.

According to Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel, Orlando Magic forwardJonathan Isaac (illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Friday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. Isaac could miss the second leg of a back-to-back due to an illness after posting two points and one rebound in 11 minutes of work against Atlanta on Thursday. If Isaac is on the shelf, Jett Howard and Tristan da Silvawill likely see expanded roles in Orlando's rotation this evening.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (quad) will remain sidelined on Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies, which comes as no surprise after head coach Jamahl Mosley's recent comments. While the team waits for the green light to allow Suggs to compete in contact drills in practice, Cole Anthony will remain the starter while the bench minutes get split between a few different players. Anthony Black has seen some more opportunities while Gary Harris and Tristan da Silva also get some added minutes. If Anthony is unavailable, then Black is likely to be the more consistent option in deeper leagues after posting 10 points, two rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in their last game.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (quadriceps) still isn't ready to make his return to the lineup on Thursday versus the Atlanta Hawks. On Tuesday, Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley noted that Suggs is able to run in practice but hasn't worked on any contact drills. Suggs has missed 19 of the last 20 games due to issues with his back and left quadriceps. On Thursday, Cole Anthony and Anthony Black will continue to take on additional responsibilities. Both players performed well in the most recent game, combining for 31 points and 10 assists in a 102-86 victory over the Charlotte Hornets.

Orlando Magic forwardJonathan Isaac(back) is unavailable for Wednesday's matchup with the Charlotte Hornets. Isaac carried a questionable tag earlier but has since been downgraded to out for the contest. Wednesday's game will be the first the 27-year-old has missed since December 10th. With Isaac sidelined, it gives some of the Magic's younger players a chance step up like Caleb HoustanandJett Howard. However, both players should not be seen as a viable fantasy option for tonight's game.
